[Q&A] SBF CB400 Official Q&A Thread 2009 (PLS ASK YOUR QUESTIONS HERE!)

[tiku]

3000 is yr 07 market value... ur 3000 is obtain from bikeshop i guess... if u visit garage sale, most vtec 2 cost 6k to 7k... basically not much of diff in terms of before or after renew coe... normally price a diff of 2k... if can sell before renew so u will not make a lost in renewal of insurance

[ueikingu]

Yes shop offer me that price. At 1st offered $2k then i ask him go f spider then he reoffer $3k.

 

I remember value is at least $5k for a less than 10-yr Spec 2.

 

Becoz of the offer that shop told me, i got confused..

 

Thanks Tiku.

[tiku]

np.. i also went to get a quote for my spec 2 this yr, the shop also quote me 3k... i find it too low, i told him he too low, i wan min 4k.. . then that person still tell me 4k too much...he renew coe also need 2k, plus my 3k, when he sell he don earn alot...bullshit...

Intending to change original sprocket n did x-ring soon...prices varies from $220 to $230 for the shops tat I asked so far...anyone noes anywhere cheaper for the set tat I mentioned?

[exwhyzee]

No use. LED type helps with the rmp but not speedo side and fuel gauge. U want have to modify using strip LEDs..workmanship and material cost $130 to do.

If u DIY..cheaoer.

 

Wah so expensive..must find alternative...or jz change to normal ones will do..

 

Thx ah pek

[blackness]

i also had a hard time deciding whether to renew mine or not. finally renewed last month. might end up keeping this trusty bike for commute and get a big and 1st hand bike in the future for touring. hopefully Tiger 800XC =D

 

edit*

just realized you are quitting riding. perhaps its better to sell without renewing

Hi all. My spec 1 ignition must find the g spot to turn the key on and lock the handlerbar.

 

Does spraying wd 40 into the ignition works?

"Evostik" work jsut great. Its half cow gum and rubber latex glue and provide good grips. Just a small squeeze from the tube and smear some just at the lips of the handle bar grip and push it in..b4 that..MSKE SURE ur handle bar surface is clear off oily surface. Not to worry about removing....normally the old rubber grips are slit off by sharp cutter blade and half ply open.

[Q] I have a weird intermittent problem with my spec 3. Sometimes there is no power on low gear/low rpm. The engine coughing/spattering and I have to rev it to get power. But no problem at high rpm or while cruising.

It's not because engine is cold, cause it can happen after a long ride. I tried to increase idle rpm but problem still happen, it's intermittent.

I've been riding this spec 3 for 4 months now. It's happening more frequent now.

Anybody can shed a light on this problem? What steps should I take to troubleshoot this problem?

 

Thanks.

When did u last changed ur plugs...if just recently..could be one of the plug shorted. You can check by touching the headers after a short ride..all must be equally hot. In case u might get burn..use water.

[wht3fr3]

Available in most DIY shop...NTUC Hub used to have or just about any supermarket store that has some quick fix product. This one is from "Selly"..the glue gum is the same as those use by clobbers for shoes mending...about $4.50 to $7.59 a tube.
